Greece is the word

[wwistful]

WHO: ALL OF THE TEACHERS and their broods
TONE: FUN!?!?
RATING: M for Mature.
WHEN: 4th April to 7th April (ish)
WHERE: Murdoc's home in Greece
WHAT: A teacher meeting held in Greece! What could possibly go wrong?
STATUS: Ongoing.

[Murdoc isn't sure why the responsibility of hosting the meeting fell to him, honestly it already sounds like a terrible idea. He doubts any of them will either come up with sound lesson plans, work cohesively as a team or leave his home any wiser and more mature than they were when they entered. To him, it seems as if a couple of people just like the idea of visiting Greece. However, it's not as if he's going to pass up the chance to show off! And it's not like he doesn't have room to spare.

He's not going to be all that happy to have people there, but he's not a bad host. Everyone has a room and there's food and booze provided. Not to mention the fact that the beach and town are within walking distance, but why on earth would you want to live such a sick crib? Of course, given that he's a pureblood there's absolutely no technology or reception, but there's a pool and a near endless amount of rooms filled with nifty shit!

Regardless, if you aren't a kid you sure as hell aren't here to explore, so quit touching his stuff and get working.]

OUTSIDE THE HOUSE

[wwistful]

[Anywhere from town to the beach, get out of reach from all the busybodies and chillax away from the fuss of the house.]

[higherthaneverybody]

[It's been a little difficult to get Dolores alone, but Rhys is determined to take some advantage of the beautiful locale, and the weather is lovely and warm, even at night. Which makes it just about perfect.]

Ah, Dolores, there you are. I was going to go down to the beach, perhaps go swimming now that things have quieted down - would you care to join me?

[wavesofjade]

[She hadn't been sure about this, but as soon as she found she'd be able to take Karkat (and convinced him that it was only a few days, and no, he wouldn't die in the heat and no, she wouldn't let Murdoc's eldest son anywhere near him) she'd decided that she couldn't take harm from a few days in the Mediterranean.

Of course, Rhys also being there was a plus... even if she was the only one who appeared to think it so. When he approaches her, she's enjoying the warm night air, and she smiles up at him when he speaks.]

I was beginning to think that you were not here. [A joke, of course.. how could she possibly miss him? She offers him her hand.] I'd love to.

[toocoolforthis]

[If there's one thing Dirk's appreciated about this entire trip, it's been the ocean. He's been out swimming nearly all day, whether or not anyone's been around to join him or serve as a lifeguard, going out farther each time. He does, at least, swim very well for a kid who's lived in the city all of his life.

At this particular moment, he's just coming up through the shallows, pushing his soaked hair out of his eyes and squinting down the beach to look for his towel, and the shades he left with them. Between the messy hair and the absent shades, it's a completely different image than he presents at school.]

[plushaeusrumpified]

[It's pretty great to get out and experience the fresh beach air, Bro can agree. While he isn't swimming, he has decided to take a walk along the beach in his trunks just to get some alone time. It's always nice to clear your thoughts walking along the beach. He's heading back when he sees Dirk coming out of the water, and he heads his way.]

Somebody looks like they're enjoying themselves.

[mo_cara]

[Gamzee doesn't look so different, though he hasn't got any make-up on, and his clothing consists of a pair of polka-dot board shorts in purple and black. He's strolling down the beach, hands in his pockets, when he sees Dirk coming up out of the water. He may have a boyfriend, but hey, a dude can stop to admire, can't he?]

Yo, motherfucker, your shit's down here!

[seeringlight]

[Rose has herself hidden in the shade with a book or two for reading. She's went into the water, but for now she's relaxing. She's got a little sundress on over her bathing suit.

She looks up from her book.] Are you enjoying the water? I suppose the lake and baths at school hardly make up for something like this.

[wavesofjade]

[As if she could pass up the chance to do a little shopping in a foreign country! Despite the fact that the midday warmth and sun has her flagging slightly, she's perusing shops in the town.

Should anyone be tagging along with her, she'd no doubt welcome the company.. Shopping is much more fun if there's someone to talk to.]

[plushaeusrumpified]

-- So I was thinking...

[He starts off, derailing into a completely different subject than what they were just talking about.]

Alright, so you and I both know I hate conformity and shit. Always goin' against the grain, doing my own thing. But I've been thinking that I need some outfits that won't make M-- people, cringe. Y'know what I mean?

[He means Murdoc.]

I figure now's a good a time as any, what with my head of house promotion thing, right? So... Yeah. You think you could help me with that, maybe?

[candycrabapple]

[Karkat walks only a step behind her, wearing a large straw hat to keep as much sun away from him as possible, and a bag over his shoulder looking kind of put upon.]

You know, I'm pretty sure this place isn't going to have any tea. Or at least not good tea.

[innocent_insanity]

[Kurloz is tagging along of course! He figures Dolores would have a good idea on what kind of presents he could get his mam while he's here. He's never been overseas by himself after all and he wanted to get nice things for her. He's also carrying a parasol that he holds up to cover Dolores when they're in the sun - she's so pale he's sure she'd burn right up!]

[seeringlight]

[Rose is wandering through the streets and mostly window shopping. She promised to bring back something for her mom at the very least. Something nice. She isn't too interested in getting herself much, although a new outfit might be nice.

Rose holds out a bottle of water to her. She's got a hat on to shield the sun.] It looks like the heat is a little more than what you're used too.

[wwistful]

[If you happen to be on the beach in the morning, Murdoc will be there! He's generally jogging or swimming, given that he has a keen interest in keeping fit.

But you know who else enjoys the beach? His dog. He's dropped down to sit in the sand for the moment, playing a rousing game of fetch with his overly enthusiastic german shepherd. It seems fairly boring for him, up until the dog leaps onto his lap and starts licking his face gleefully. That's what you get for being gone most of the year, Murdoc.]

Oi- Sea biscuit! Down!

[innocent_insanity]

[Kurloz chances on the scene and finds himself 'laughing', shoulders shaking as he wheezes near silently. He approaches the loving couple with his hands in his pockets, bare toes wriggling in the sand when he stops.]

[mo_cara]

[Don't mind Gamzee, his mind is just getting blown by this whole teacher-with-a-dog thing.] Yo.

[strideallknight]

[The only reason Dave is up at this hour is because he couldn't sleep. Goddamn his insomnia and nightmares, jfc.

Anyway, he stops when he sees what happens and can't help staring a bit. It's...well. It's frankly really cute. Dave approaches cautiously, not sure how well the German shepherd is with strangers.]

Mornin', Prof. Didn't expect to see you out this early.

[strideallknight]

[Dave is doing one of two things out on the beach. One is taking a nap to catch up on his sleep. There is an umbrella providing him with shade because fuck getting sunburned. Not to mention some sunscreen nearby.

The other thing he might be doing is something incredibly rare. Dave's reading a book for pleasure.

Bug him, y/n?]

[mo_cara]

[Nope, just going to stare SUPER creepily, thanks.]

[innocent_insanity]

[Kurloz is just gonna. Carefully. cover Dave in sand while he sleeps. Don't want the white kid to burn right? He gets a little distracted once he's got Dave's body covered though and starts shaping the sand mound on top of the boy into a merman's body. Scales and all. That's cool with you, right Dave?]

[seeringlight]

Well, this is a surprise indeed! I wasn't aware that you were into reading, Strider.

[She's joking of course.]

Have you read anything interesting recently?

Teen beach party is go!

[greaselightning]

[A day or so into this whole house party is all Cronus really needs to formulate the idea that himself and the rest of the teens definitely need their space from the adults. However, not without a few choice bottles of alcohol! It isn't like Murdoc isn't loaded in that department, especially considering he's loaded in all the others. So, Cronus is sure to go around throughout the day, telling each kid there about the planned beach party that night and how they need to keep their traps zipped about it. Sure, the house is spacious and all, they got a pool, but where's the fun when you're up to your ears in teachers, right? Not to mention, who doesn't love the beach!]

[So, after he's certain he's told everyone(except maybe Eridan, cuz he doesn't need his annoying little bro ruining this), he's gonna make trips throughout the rest of the day setting everything up. Towels, some of the pool chairs, of course the alcohol, and a few other select things. He even went into town to get a few things for entertainment, despite thinking himself to be all the entertainment anyone would ever need. Especially since he's going to be bringing his guitar he got for his birthday! Play some good tunes for these fine folks and what not.]

[Once it starts to get dark, those who have decided to take Cronus up on the invitation will find him down on the beach, where he said the party would be located. He's got chairs set up, even a little bonfire going on. There's certainly a few open tubs with assorted bottles of alcohol, obviously enchanted to keep them cool. Cronus himself is sitting in one of the chairs, wearing nothing but his fabulous swimwear, strumming on his guitar as he waits. Not playing anything in particular, and even when some string of notes starts to sound like some sort of melody, it's like he gets bored of it and starts fussing with something else. Fucking musicians, amirite? As anyone approaches, he stops to greet them with that ever-present cheery smile, (overly)friendly as can be!]

((ooc: Feel free to either reply to Cronus, or even have your own sub-threads within it! Closed to the kids, no adults allowed to ruin the fun!))

[strideallknight]

[Dave really should've just stayed back at the house. Oh, well. He'll make the most of it and chill out on one of the chairs, not at all touching the drinks in the cooler.

In all honesty, though, he's not at all sure why he's not very interested in alcohol. He just kind of...isn't. Especially not with Cronus around.]

[candycrabapple]

[Karkat stands off to one side, looking wary and put out. He doesn't really want to be here, because getting drunk near a large body of unforgiving ocean is hardly his number one pastime. But he knows that alcohol is part of the wild Gamzee's natural diet. So he's here to make sure the big moron doesn't melt his face off, float out to sea, start a fight, or try to build a sandcastle to scale to live in.
So for now he just sits off to one side in a pair of jeans and a hoodie while drinking a soda.]

[innocent_insanity]

[Kurloz shows up with his self-painted fiddle, dressed in his sleeveless hoodie and knee-length black board-shorts. Seeing as how Cronus is busy greeting everyone as they arrive, he takes it on himself to play a few tunes, setting a bottle of beer by his feet in the sand.]

Re: Teen beach party is go!

[mo_cara]

[peering at the tubs, will call out to Cronus] All you got is malt shit up in this bitch?
